Invaders! 1.2
This is an Arcade Game
Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did
run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was
also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh
running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a
Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen
and System 7.1 by Mactivity.
This is the third "real" program I wrote
for Mac and the first colour one. Two years ago I wrote
a "serious" computer music program for an
exam (I am studying electronic engineering in Padova,
Italy). Later I wrote a simple game for my 4-years
old daughter (now six-years old) : Babylabyrinth.
In the following period I was very busy with my studies,
so I had no time for programming.
About two months ago I downloaded SAT tool kit by Ingemar
Ragnemalm (thank you Ingemar!), it is a sprites library
to simplify writing games, and with it I found a invaders
demo, eventually when I had some days (and nights)
free I worked on it and I turned it in a complete game.
Invaders! is the result. It is a classic Invaders
game, close to the original arcade game, the second
game I played to years and years ago (the first one
was BreakOut) with some small additions. I know that
exist at least three others invaders games: "Slime
Invaders" by Ingemar Ranglemalm (a strange and
funny invaders game, but far from the classical one),
"SpaceInvader!" by Hui Dong, far from the
classical one too (the problem is that this one it
don't run on my powerbook because of the screen size)
and a "space-invaders-da", a nice classical
invaders game, with a small window.
